PIP renewal

[smudger9459]

Hi all hope you are as well as can be expected if you suffer with fibro.

My daughter has had her renewal letter due October 2022 although they told her in January 2022 it was extended until July 2023

A lot of people say put no change is the best advice

But she has got worse and had other diagnosis since 1st application and meds increased especially pergablin for her pain

Does this mean she will have to do a complety new claim or just answer the questions on renewal form and state shes got worse and what else shes been diagnosed with

Thanks for any advice

Thank you for the advice. Just didnt know what to do for the best.Along with fibro she has various mental health problems including borderline personality disorder.

So she is getting very stressed with it all.

Hi If your daughter’s circumstances has change and things have got worse you should definitely mention this on the renewal form

I would Look at each question and see what has change in that area and if you have your old award you can look at what point you scored in that area and give and example of what has got worse so that you are able to get additional points.

The pip form is complex but it is always better to be honest and say what has change

I wish you and your daughter luck in completing the form
